Walden’s Benediction, May 17th, 2009

Guest speaker Jeremy Elliott – Henry David Thoreau challenged us to “live life deliberately!” What does it mean to live a life of great meaning and power? What exactly are we supposed to do? This Sunday we look to the wisdom prophets of liberal religion to learn how we might live extraordinary lives. We will consider the lives of Thoreau, Gandhi and King and their contributions to our world. Can our contributions be equally important? Jeremy Elliott is a chaplain resident at the Cleveland Clinic and a spiritual counselor at the Clinic’s Center for Integrative Medicine. He is a UU minister in preliminary fellowship with the UUA. He served as the intern minister at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and as the Killam Fellow at First Unitarian Church of Cleveland. He attended Starr King School for the Ministry, Case Western Reserve University, and Baldwin-Wallace College.

Asking the Right Questions, May 3rd, 2009

Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer and Worship Associate Lori McGee – The questions we ask always influence the kinds of answers we get. This morning we will consider how the words we use (and the ones we don’t) shape our conversations about faith. Cub Scouts Alan Kerns and Gavin VanWinkle-Bright will be receiving their certificates and emblems for completing the Unitarian Universalist Love and Help program during the first service today.
